The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Friday that Blaylock was one of two
people critically injured in a head-on collision in Clayton County.

Jonesboro police Chief Franklin Allen told the paper that Blaylock was driving
a Cadillac Escalade northbound on Tara Boulevard when for unknown reasons, he
crossed over the median and into oncoming traffic.

Blaylock's vehicle struck another vehicle head-on, injuring two people in that
car, including a female passenger who is said to have suffered internal
bleeding.

All three were transported to Atlanta Medical Center, where Blaylock was on
life support and unresponsive. By Friday evening, Blaylock's condition had
improved and he was removed from life support, but he remained in guarded, but
critical condition.

Blaylock has been under treatment for seizures, a family member told police.

The 46-year-old Blaylock, a point guard, played for the Atlanta Hawks from
1992 to 1999. A two-time, first-team pick to the NBA's All-Defensive Team,
Blaylock, also played for the Nets (1989-1992) and Warriors (1999-2002),
averaging 13.5 points and 6.7 assists per game over the course of his career.

Address records show Blaylock, whose real name is Daron, lives in Zebulon in
Pike County.
